[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daylonnnn:
I rooted me E4GT and now my wifi doesn't work. I just want to unroot it to factory settings but I'm having so much trouble with it.. I've been trying to use sfhub's guide to unroot my phone, but every time I enter Odin mode, my kies won't recognize my phone and I don't see the yellow COM in Odin3Execution v1.81. I just got this phone a few days ago and I've already messed it up :/ someone please help me get back to stock! I am willing to pay 7 dollars USD paypal to anyone who will take the time to personally help me with this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Before you give up, did you flash a rom or anything on your phone? Did you notice the wifi issue right after rooting it? Did you install a custom recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Android300ZX:
Go into recovery and do a wipe. That should fix you up. Also wipe your cache and dalvik. It should fix you up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Did you ever get this figured out? The process is actually very simple. I'm sure one of us can help you out. No PayPal needed.

And here's another one.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/03/google-makes-holo-theme-mandatory/

" Meanwhile, it seems terribly unlikely that Google's new mandate will bring choice to the home screen, keyboard and dialer as well. We can only hope, right?"

So, unfortunately if you thought you can just magically turn off tw or sense? Wrong!

This only applies to app developers and it only mandates for manufacturers to carry png's and other theme elements from these native android themes in framework so that app designers can call upon them in his app without having to carry those same elements in their apps.

This is good news. At least third party apps will not be automatically touchwizzed. They will still retain the ICS look.

Since rooted users will also be able to theme the Touchwiz interface to look exactly like ICS, problem solved.

[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Theming will be mandatory. Launcher and customizations won't. Until google puts its foot down (Which they won't... Yet.) to impose all customizations to stop (Which cannot... Yet.), then we will keep modded launchers, dialers, keyboards, etc. but with ICS theme elements (Colors, buttons, layout of settings and systems, etc.)

Google stands to lose too much by imposing all companies to stick to Vanilla. This though, is a very good start in the right direction... Baby steps. There are no variants of the iphone's theme, it's all standardized out of the box. Why would Android have to be any different? It just fragments the OS and providers further by changing all theme elements to their likings and by adding their own versions of apps.

The only advantage of every android player having their own theme elements is choice and variety of software.

[Kindle Fire General] khannanlt:
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I have a major Kindle Fire issue on my hands. I searched the forum for the last two days and found similar issues but nothing that exactly address what I'm dealing with:

I have a Kindle Fire running 6.2.1. I rooted it about a week ago using Burritoroot. I wanted to install TWRP and CM7 using the Kindle Fire Utility. I downloaded version 0.9.1 and ran the installdrivers.bat. Then I ran the "Install latest TWRP recovery" option. My Kindle rebooted and froze at the "Kindle Fire" logo screen. The utility got to "Waiting for devices, if it hangs here then reboot a couple of times." I rebooted but it always went right back to the logo screen and nothing happened. I disconnected it and shut it down because I had to go to work.

The next day I tried to boot the Kindle up and it wont even boot at all (after charging all night!) If I plug it into my PC then the sound chimes and the bubble pops up saying "Installing device driver software, Android ADB interface." followed by "Android ADB interface installed." In the device manager the Kindle does not show up at all. Not even as unknown device or anything. While the Kindle is plugged into the PC via the USB cable the "Kindle Fire" logo screen just flashes constantly. If I unplug it, the screen goes dark and pressing the button doesn't do anything.

I'm sorry if this post is long and perhaps I overlooked a potential solution to this problem but I'm freaking out that I somehow bricked my Fire. Please help!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Numerics:
Hey all, I'm new to the scnee, just got my phone rooted and it's bootloader unlocked by Alejandrissimo, worked out great.

I have been using the search function for everything I needed but have run into a few questions unanswered or the answers being given were not what I needed.

1. Is there a way to reverse the rooting proceedure for warranty purposes?

2. Which rom(s) are best used for a rooted XPlay?

3. What apps really make a difference for a rooted Xplay?/Which apps should I get?

4. Is the R800at a GSM phone?

I came across Rom Manager, seems cool, but I really have no idea how to install a rom, and I am quite hesitant to do so because of the consequences of a bad installation, i.e. bricking my phone. I would really appreciate if someone were to help me step-by-step through the proceedure via aim/msn/gtalk if possible, just in case something specific comes up. I understand that going through a step-by-step guide through this forum via a thread is fairly thorough, but the fact that something unexpected can come up, makes me really want to do this with interactive/chat support with someone from this community.

Thanks!

I am using a Rooted and Unlocked R800at Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
1) delete su from /system/xbin/ and superuser.apk from /system/app/. Reboot and your unrooted.

4) Yes, all xperia plays apart from the R800x are GSM.

Rom manager does not work with the xperia play, we have a slightly diffrent partition structure to other android devices, but it renders apps like rom manager useless.

iam new to android and iam so confused some

people say it is better to s- off ur phone .others

say dont what should i do ?? what is the

advantages of rooting and unlocking the

bootloader ??what is the clockwork ??
[HTC Desire S] geva:
Root provides you with administrative access to everything on the phone (like hightened privileges in Windows or sudo in Linux).

With a rooted phone, you can do app backups as well as other data, use tools that clear the cache and temp files, kill tasks, etc.

If you want to root, you NEED to S-OFF your phone. This turns off HTCs security and will make the rooting stick between device reboots.

[HTC Incredible S] saeedp62:
Hi folks,

I am not familiar with the terminologies that is used in this website, and the thing is i was trying to update my OS on HTC incredible S using the official OTA update, but during the update process after downloading the update package and amid the installation it was shut down automatically and its now like a dead phone and i can't either turn it on anymore and it always gets stuck in the installation process every time i try to turn the cellphone on. To my knowledge, It seems that it has lost its boot file and can not load the system.

It would be appreciated if you guys could help me figuring out what has happened to my phone and what i can do to recover its normal status !

BTW, my cellphone is nor rooted and has no warranty !!!

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Regards,

Saeed

So hboot does not work ?
[HTC Incredible S] saeedp62:
any solution

By hboot i suppose that you mean holding down a specific key and then booting !

I have tried that but the problem is i think because the update process was interrupted while installing the new OTA, i guess the device has lost its boot file and i need to do something to recover it.

BTW, i have heard that some guys try to change the board in order to repair this kinda failure !

What do u think guys please help me recover its status .. i'm so pissed off
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Did you try taking the battery out and putting it back in?

Also if it did shut off during radio or hboot update you now own some expensive trash.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Tell me the steps you're following to try and get into download mode. If you really can't get into download mode, your next best (probably remote) chance is a jig. I suggest you hit eBay up now-ish & order one.

If the jig doesn't work, you're either looking at paying someone to JTAG repair the device (cheaper option) or paying Samsung repair to repair your device (probably more expensive option given your warranty is now void).

I also use virtuous. Ive tried ARHD, IC, RCmix, and Trips ROMs. Virtuous looks just like AOSP and feels like it aside from some slow downs here and there. Only thing that gives it away as Sense based is benchmark scores. :D

Now the camera shortcut from lockscreen works as does the gallery shortcut within camera mode! Having a "senseless" sense based ROM really has the benefit of being able to use SOME of the worth a crap HTC apps such as the camera. We ALL know how lousy CM7 camera was...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
I'm hesitant to start this thread because I love my Prime and don't want to see another flame/hate thread started. This is by no means a deal-breaker for me; everything else works great except GPS (which I don't care about, but don't mention that to the folks in the GPS thread)... anyway...

My Prime seems to occasionally lock up completely if I dock or un-dock it while it's "doing something". Most recently, it was launching the stock browser from a URL in Reader. I waited awhile (maybe a minute), but all the buttons were unresponsive, though the Wifi indicator kept blinking, and I could put it in and out of sleep. Re-docking did nothing. I eventually restarted it via holding the power button. I'm on .33 if that matters.

I've had this happen a couple times before. Anyone else? I'm assuming it's just a weird bug, since most Androids don't have detachable keyboards. Hopefully it can be fixed in an update, but I wondered if others had similar experiences before I opened a support ticket to Asus.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmyname:
So I bought my first ever android device the other day, an Xperia Arc S. Love it to bits, however I really am paranoid.

I haven't bought a case yet, so I dont take the phone outside (use my old phone) and I haven't got a screen protector yet either.

I was looking up screen protectors for the Arc S online and I came across a post that said apparently the phone comes pre-installed with a screen protector. Is that true? I know I have a spare set of screen protectors that came with the box, along with the HDMI cable, USB cable, Mains adapter and Headphones. However, no leather case as I've seen people mention!

I'm in the UK so it's a UK phone, and bought it Sim free and it's the white one.

If it does have a screen protector on, is the protection enough? Should I put on another screen protector, just to be safe?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _popcorn:
yeah they come with screen protectors on. look at the corners/edges in the light and you can make it out. i've found the screen protector is enough protection, although if you are prone to dropping your phone often, you may want to consider purchasing a case/pouch.

also before you put another screen protector on, remember that screen protectors tend to dim the display as it creates another layer for the light to go through. also this extra layer means you may have to press a bit harder on the screen.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
I even removed the factory applied screen protector as it was scratched up a bit and so far no scratches on the screen.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmyname:
Thanks guys, so I take it it's a global thing, rather than it being region specific?

Since you guys are owners of the Arc S, how do you feel about the bottom 3 buttons? Do they feel a bit loose and flimsy to you?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Got the Arc without S and the buttons don't feel lose.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmyname:
Hmm that is a bit worrying. What I mean is that the other 2 buttons (back button and settings button) seem to only have one connection point (in the middle of either buttons) and because the buttons are long, as they move towards the Home button, it feels really loose, and I can press that part of it quite inwards without the phone responding?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyXperia:
Also I have a question, don't need to make a new thread for it I reckon:

The top of my screen (statusbar) burns in a bit, probably because of water (leaving it unprotected in a damp bathroom, I'm a dumbass). But there's another issue. I've got a lot of dead pixels in the top half of my screen, maybe ten of them, they're easy to spot on a black background. Could that be caused by suspected water damage too?

I've contacted support, and they said their logistics partner would call me to let them get my phone, but after two missed calls they haven't called in weeks (suckers).

The sticker on my battery hasn't coloured btw, and no other issues on the phone too.
